I am what I am Just a plain working man With a troubled heart and heavy mind I take care of my own My belief is long gone It′s almost like my faith ain't blind When I think about you What you′re trying to do I have taken just about what I'll take? I'm protecting my rights Like the eastern diamond back rattle snake I am a son of the free western land A country boy and a working man I believe in the right of the freedom of speech I practice what I preach, when I say Don′t tread on me Don′t tread on me It's the last thing you′ll do If you tread on me I guarantee I'll walk all over you I labour and sweat for what little I get And you try to rip it out of my lap By God I swear you keep pushing me there And I am just about to snap I probably should and I know it ain′t good But it? You may think I'm insane but I′ll say it out plain Like it's written on the flag I am a son of the free western land A country boy and a working man I believe in the right of the freedom of speech I practice what I preach, when I say Don't tread on me Don′t tread on me It′s the last thing you'll do If you tread on me I guarantee I′ll walk all over you Don't tread on me Don′t tread on me It's the last thing you′ll do If you tread on me I guarantee I'll walk all over you Don't tread on me Don′t tread on me It′s the last thing you'll do ′Cause if you tread on me I guarantee I'll walk all over you Don′t tread on me Don't tread on me It′s the last thing you'll do If you tread on me I guarantee I'll walk all over you Don′t tread on me Don′t tread on me It's the last thing you′ll do If you tread on me I guarantee I'll walk all over you What's my, is my
